We are heartbroken to announce that on December 19th, 2022, Victor Saikaley’s brave fight against pancreatic cancer ended in a draw, as he passed peacefully in his home. He is survived by his loving wife Rena, and two sons Marcus and Thomas, along with the families of his siblings Mary-Lou, Gloria, and Charles.
Victor was born to John and Georgette Saikaley on December 22, 1958 in Ottawa. Highly valuing education, Victor proudly graduated from Hillcrest Highschool and later Carleton University with a Bachelor of Engineering (Civil).
Victor worked as a structural engineer, a restaurant owner, and a property manager throughout his lifetime. His greatest joy in life were his two boys. A wonderfully modest man, Victor was devoted to his family above all. He was a brilliant chess player and teacher, who carried humble passions for plants, cooking, karate, and coffee.
At the request of Victor’s family, it is asked in lieu of flowers or other tokens, to please donate to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.
Visitation will be held on Tuesday, December 27th, 2022, from 2:00pm – 4:00pm and 7:00pm – 9:00pm. Funeral service will be held the following day on Wednesday, December 28th, 2022, beginning at 1:00pm. Both will be held at Beechwood Cemetery, 280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa, ON K1L 8A6.

Dear Rena, Marcus and Thomas, Mary-Lou, Gloria and Charles.
These are truly sad days for all who knew Victor. I hope memories of happier times see you through this very difficult time. I'll always remember Vic's sense of humour when methodically thinking of the humour, he would chuckle.
Wishing you all peace and love.
